No, lie, Well, 40 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: this movie Vanilla Sky happened at a time where I 41 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: was living right outside New York City. My I don't know, 42 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: first or second job working for a newspaper in sports, 43 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: making absolute peanuts. I was living in a studio. I 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: think I've talked about it a little bit. It was 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: just not a great existence. That being said, it was 46 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: you know, I was on my own and so it 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: wasn't bad. But like I was living in Jersey, I 48 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: didn't know anybody other than the guys I worked with. 49 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: And I had some family members who I would go see, 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: like on Sunday and play video games with their kids 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: and stuff my mom's side of the family. And so 52 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I would like go to movies solo. You know, I 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to miss movies if I didn't have anything 54 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: cooking with a lady, and more often than not that 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: was not happening. But I'll get to the ladies in 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 1: a second. Um. I went to this movie, Vanilla Sky. Now, 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: the timing was awful on the release. It came out 58 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: like a couple of months after nine eleven, and the 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: movies takes place in New York City.

And I highly recommend Vanilla Sky Um 93 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: And I thought that'd start the podcast with a movie 94 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: talk because you guys know, I listen, summer's coming up, 95 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: and I said it last week.

And I'm starting to get some 98 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: ideas for movie guests. Uh, just because I like movies. 99 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let you guys, I have every movie 100 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: channel by design. I showed my kid the Social Network, 101 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: the movie about Facebook, and you know, my older son, 102 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: he's eleven, and he absolutely loved it. Now he had 103 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: just seen this movie The Internship with Will Ferrell and 104 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: Owen Wilson. I'm not Will Ferrell, so Vince Vaughan and 105 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: Owen Wilson. It's called the Internship about working in Google 106 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: because he's in the computers and like, you know, Palo 107 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: Alto and Stanford all this stuff. And I showed him 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: Social Network and he was like, oh my gosh, Mark Zuckerberg, 109 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: what a jerk. This guy's unbelievable. And he was way 110 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: into the movie.

If I told you the only player who 163 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: had two good games in the NBA Finals, with Steph 164 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: Curry and say, oh, okay, I didn't realize that Steph 165 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: now has, by the way, eight games of thirty or 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: more points in these playoffs. The only other guys aged 167 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: thirty four or older to have eight or more thirty 168 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: point games in the playoffs a couple of guys you 169 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: may know, Michael Jordan and Lebron James. That's it. Curry 170 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: at thirty four in game one, twenty nine in Game two, Curry, 171 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: by the way, twelve of six on threes just in 172 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: the series, and the consistent theme is of Curry, Come on, man, 173 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: he's the What are his fourth quarter clutch moments? Like 174 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: that's all people say about Curry again in the series 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: two games, only two games shooting from the field from 176 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: three a low eight percent from the line, thirty one, 177 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: five and four. Anyone else is doing these numbers? Those 178 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: are Oh my gosh, this guy's incredible. But because it's Curry, 179 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: and people need to find someone to hate and bag on, 180 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: it's Curry, and it's it's just still strange to hear 181 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,239 Speaker 1: people bagging on him there. It's almost like they're waiting 182 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: for him to not deliver, right. It's like Game one, 183 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: five and five. Well, now, what are you doing the 184 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter? Where was the You know, he had a 185 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: great game in the first quarter and third quarter he 186 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: was pretty good and then didn't do much of the fourth. Well, 187 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: what happened to Game two in the fourth Oh, we 188 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: didn't even play. I don't think people realize how dominant 189 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: this dynasty has been. I don't think they get it. 190 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: Curry's team, a bunch of homegrown guys, don't have a 191 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Dominating are obliterating teams more often 192 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: than not. Again, Dallas close out game they win by ten. Dallas. 193 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Game three, they went by nine. Curry has thirty one 194 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: and eleven. Game two against Dallas, they went by nine. 195 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: Game one, they went by Um, let's go to Memphis 196 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: series close out game they win by four. Team Game three, 197 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Game four to go up three one in Memphis, 198 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: Curry has thirty two, eight and five. They went buy three. 199 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: But he didn't hit a signature shot. Yet, he did 200 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: not hit a signature shot. Where is it? Okay? Gay? 201 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: Closeout game against Denver, he has thirty points and at 202 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: four point win. Like I just I literally don't know 203 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: what he can do other than hit a buzzer beater 204 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: to appease people, and I can if the Warriors get 205 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: through and they end up winning the championship, I will 206 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: tell you right now, even if he win the finals 207 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: m v P. Well, where is his fourth quarter signature moment? 208 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: Where where is his clutch moment? And the sad fact is, 209 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: are you ready for this? The Warriors have had exactly 210 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: one well no, wait, let's see one the one possession 211 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: games in these playoffs, right one against Memphis, Game one, 212 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: two against Memphis. By the way, they're two and oh 213 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: in those games. Zero against Denver in possession game. I'm 214 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: counting his three if you want to count his four 215 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: because at four point play you can do that. But 216 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: historically they've been three points is in one possession game. 217 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: So they had two against Memphis there too, and oh 218 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: they had zero against Dallas and they have had zero 219 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: against Boston. So in the playoffs so far, let's count 220 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: him up five six. It's eleven and five is sixteen 221 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: eighteen games to one possession games. That's it. I can't 222 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: help it that Michael Jordan's is stuck in all these 223 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: close games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Craig Gillow and 224 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: he needs to hit a buzzer shot. Yeah, was it 225 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: an iconic shot? Of course, it's tremendous. Beat the Utah 226 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: Jazz with a push off on Byron Russell. Brian Russell. Sorry, 227 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: I always butcher that it's like we're penalizing Curry because 228 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: his team is crushing people. Like really, it's just one 229 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: of the dumbest arguments ever.

I started a discussion on on on Twitter 234 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: on Monday, and it was actually positive towards Jason Tatum, 235 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: but I took a dig at Jordan and people hated it. 236 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: I said, if Jayson Tatum wins the championship, by the way, 237 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum was negative thirty six, I don't I don't 238 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: know how that's possible when you lose by nineteen. Jayson Tatum, 239 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: who you know, one of my favorite players in league. 240 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: I root for him. I don't like any Boston teams, 241 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: any Boston anything. He was minus thirty six plus minus. 242 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: Nobody else on his team was over minus seventeen. Minus 243 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: thirty six. I don't know how that happened. I guess 244 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: he was all on the court for the third quarter 245 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: of bludgeoning. If Tatum happens to win the title, I 246 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: believe his path and the stars that he beat will 247 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: be one of the greatest in the modern era. Right 248 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: in the first round, they beat Kevin Durant, widely considered 249 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: one of the best players now probably a top fifteen 250 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: are all time. In the second round, they defeated two 251 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: time m v P Jannie. In the third round, Tatum 252 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: beat Butler and I know, I know people are gonna say, well, 253 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: they didn't beat Janice Middleton wasn't there, and Kyrie irvingstonk 254 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: and Ben Simmons wasn't there. Again, I'm just going through 255 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: the star on the team, Jimmy Butler, a really, really 256 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: good player. Now it's tough to characterize Butler, like where 257 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: is he in the pantheon of greats? Because how many 258 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: guys have carried their their franchise to the finals. He's 259 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: been to the finals. He was took the Heat to 260 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: the conference finals like it trusts me. Charles Barkley did 261 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: that once for being in Alpha, once to the NBA finals. 262 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: Now he had a better career than Butler, obviously, but 263 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: Butler is not that far down the list at any rate. 264 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: And if they beat Curry, that will be five m 265 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: v P awards that Jason Tatum took down. Durant has one, 266 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: Janice has to, Curry has too, And I would say, Durant, 267 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: Curry and Janice you're really looking at I mean, where 268 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: do you quantify? Honest, that's a tough one, right He 269 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: has an two m v P s, he won a 270 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: championship last year. He's on track statistically. I mean, he's 271 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: still ascending at this point. He's probably gonna be a 272 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: top fifteen twenty player all time. I think that Tatum 273 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: run would be one of the great ones of all time. Now, 274 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: of course people want to say, well, Jason, what about 275 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Steph Curry? In Okay, think about this, The All NBA 276 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: team had Steph Curry, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, James Harden, 277 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: Mark us All that was the first team All NBA. 278 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: Curry knocked all of them off during his run to 279 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: the finals. First round, they beat Anthony Davis, they swept him. 280 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: Second round. He takes down Mark Gasol. Now and don't 281 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: scoff there was a dearth of center. It's guts all 282 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: was tremendous. That Memphis team gave the Warriors some problems. 283 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: Remember they led two to one. Tony Defense. Tony Tony 284 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: Allam is for team All Defense. The grindhouse is what 285 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: they called it. They led to one. Of course, guess 286 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: what Curry did in game four, must win thirty three points. 287 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: He was incredible, go look it up on YouTube. So 288 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: he takes out Marks Soul in the second round, takes 289 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: down James Harden in the conference finals, and then beat 290 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Lebron in the Champion the finals. But yes, Lebron did 291 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: not have Kevin Love because of the injury. I think 292 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: it was Kelly o'link like twisted his arm out of 293 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: socket or whatever around prior or two. And then Kyrie 294 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: Ever got hurt in overtime in game one. But that 295 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: was a great run. I think Tatum's probably tops Curries. 296 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: I think Jordan's best one. And this is where I 297 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: took a dig at Jordan's Michael Jordan's best run. First round, 298 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: they knock out Youing, Patrick Ewing, second round, takedown, Charles 299 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: Barkley third round, finally get by Isaiah Thomas and in 300 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: the Finals, they beat Magic Johnson. Now, Magic was in 301 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: his final season due to of course HIV that Magic 302 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: never played a full season again, he was I don't 303 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: want to say past his pride, but he had a 304 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: lot of tread on those tires. And again, if you say, 305 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: I think he was thirty or thirty one, maybe thirty two. 306 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: But think about that, like Magic was starting to slow 307 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: down a little bit, like Curry is thirty four and 308 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: doing nasty things. Kevin Durant is doing awesome things with 309 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: the nets at thirty four. Players now are just the 310 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: longevity is incredible. Isaiah Thomas when Jordan's finally beat him, 311 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, his Pistons had been to the finals three 312 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: years in a row. They were gassed. I mean they 313 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: didn't really cover that in the Michael Jordan's basically p 314 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: s A that was better known as um oh my gosh, 315 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm spacing on the name of it whatever it was. 316 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: But Michael Jordan's documentary that popped during COVID. I joked 317 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: that it was a p s A because he had 318 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: final say over everything. But that Pistons team was out 319 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: of gas. There's no doubt about it, right, they had 320 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: nothing left in the tank. They had gone to the 321 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: finals three years in a row. That's tough. So that 322 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: that was Jordan's best run. I'll say this still, I 323 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: think the only one that goes toe to toe with 324 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: them is Dirk davitsky'sleven. In the first round they beat 325 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: the Blazers. Then they beat Kobe in the second round. 326 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: And you know, side note on this for the historians, 327 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: how did Kobe lose to Dirk that year? Well, Kobe 328 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: and the Lakers had been in the finals three years 329 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: in a row. They ran out of steam. It's tough 330 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: to go to the finals four years in a row. 331 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: The following round, Dirk beats the young k d Russ 332 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: Harden trio in Okay. See that this was like their 333 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: first run. They were super young. The following year they 334 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: made the finals Okay. In the Championship, Dirk, in what 335 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: is still one of the bigger upsets, Dirk takes down 336 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: Lebron and Wade and Lebron the vanishing act that people 337 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: still keep talking about. It's the only really negative mark 338 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: on Lebron's careers what happened in those finals. But that 339 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: run by Dirk, I mean, listen, you take out Kobe, 340 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: k d even though he was young. Lebron and Wade, 341 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: that's a pretty damn good job. Now. What was interesting 342 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: is Dirk had flamed out in the first round three 343 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: or four years so there was like no pressure on 344 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: them at least not that I recall. Um, we've been married, 345 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: like I think we were. I'm almost certain my friend 346 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: was getting married like the week of the finals, or 347 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: maybe the week of the conference finals, and I wasn't 348 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: as locked in as I should have been back then. 349 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: But again, there was no podcast back then. You know 350 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: there were twenty Well maybe maybe there were podcast It's 351 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: possible because I had my first one right around there. 352 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: Um and Seth Curry of course was my first guest. Anyways, Um, 353 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: it's it's just weird that Dirk run was historic. But 354 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: Tatum of course has to still pull this off, and 355 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: the question is can he And I will say this. 356 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: I know I said earlier this week that I really 357 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: liked Boston in Game three, and the more that you 358 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: look out there, I don't see anyone taking the Warriors, 359 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: and it kind of hearkens back to my Game one, 360 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: where it was like every single person on planet Earth 361 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: had the Warriors. In that game, Boston stunning, historic comeback 362 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: pulls it off, and I wonder, now we've got some 363 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: more time before game four. Obviously it's not till Wednesday night. 364 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: I just wonder if the Warriors have adjusted so much. 365 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: Remember they're not doing as much zone defense. They went, 366 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: I think, from however much they did in game one 367 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: to one possession. Like Al Horford went from banging six 368 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: threes in game one to not even attempting one in 369 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: Game two. They decided we're gonna stay on the shooters. 370 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna let Brown and Tatum eat. And guess what, 371 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart and everybody did nothing right. Horford one for 372 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: four shooting after having like the game of his career. 373 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: So now adjustice where we made this is you know 374 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: what happens in the playoffs. I do wonder, though, what 375 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: does Boston do offensively to adjust? I mean, obviously you 376 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: want to Tatum to come out and the thirteen assists, 377 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: get everyone else involved, get them hot as opposed to 378 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: the turnovers. But like I think, if Boston's gonna do 379 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: anything to win this game, it has to be shutting 380 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: down Steph Curry, which sets up for what we talked 381 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: about earlier, is this gonna be the game where it's like, oh, 382 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Carey goes five for six and the Warriors lose, Well, 383 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: what about stef Curry didn't show up? Like It's just 384 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: so strange the hatred that people have for this guy 385 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: and despite how great he's playing. I mean, if you 386 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: really want to pick someone apart, go after Clay Thompson 387 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: because if he doesn't deliver and it's just the Steph 388 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: Curry show, things could get ugly. Nobody can do it alone. 389 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: You guys know that. And I don't know, maybe we 390 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: see in in what do they call TD Bank TD Garden. 391 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know what Boston's arena is called. NBA 392 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: naming arenas just change every few years because of money, 393 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: So I frankly don't follow them that closely. But you know, 394 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: if you were to look at what is Lebron's signature game, 395 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean you could find many um the chase down 396 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 1: block of Andrea Goodala in Game seven. He's got numerous 397 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: buzzer beaters. I think he put up forty five on 398 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: the Celtics with the heat in a must win game. 399 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: He had I think forty eight against the Pistons in 400 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: basically the game where you if you watched it, you 401 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, that guy's incredible. He's going to be 402 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: a massive superstar. And that was easy to start rooting 403 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: for Lebron back then. And then you go to Korean 404 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: people and this is where you guys are like, well, 405 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: what's his signature game? And don't tell me about when 406 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: he had fifty four against the Knicks at MSG and 407 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: had like eleven threes, which was the national TV game. 408 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: I still remember it. And again the counter to that is, well, 409 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's had some really good games, but he 410 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: hasn't had like that forty eight point NBA Finals game. 411 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: And again a lot of that has to do with 412 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: their blasting people. Guys, what do you want him to do? 413 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: Do you want her to just leave him in so 414 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: they can just run up the score on people and 415 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: Kurry can get stacked stacked again, we're talking about the 416 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: first unanimous m v P in the history of the NBA. 417 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: No one had ever been unanimous. And this, you know, 418 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: gets to another route of Steph Curry. It's like the 419 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: media seems to love him. It's the social media types 420 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: and you know the people who don't vote, who are 421 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: just like, ah, this guy, could they just you know, 422 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley just doesn't have an affinity for Steph Curry. 423 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking real quick at the twenty nineteen finals against 424 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: the Yeah, it was against the Raptors where Clay gets 425 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: hurt and um, Durant gets hurt. Game three with I 426 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: think it was just Curry, no Clay, no Durant. Curry 427 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:54,719 Speaker 1: had forty seven seven they lost forty seven points in 428 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: the finals game they lost. I don't know if you 429 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: guys remember that series before, but Katie missed the Portland series. 430 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: They swept Portland in the conference finals. Curry's totals are 431 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: you ready for this? Thirty sixty seven just went Ham 432 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: couldn't unstoppable now this. Then there was the series against 433 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: Houston where they want in six and if memory serves um, 434 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: after I was that the No, the Chris Paul win 435 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: was before that. That's right, Um, this was the series 436 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: there was I'll never forget this. A movie was coming 437 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: out that day. No, that wasn't the series, Damn, I'm misremembering. 438 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: But Curry lit up Houston in that series. That was 439 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and James harden Um. Yeah, Curry had thirty 440 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: three in the closeout game, like but again, it's not 441 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: a buzzer beater. It's not a winning shot in the 442 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: final two seconds, so it doesn't register the same Oh yeah, 443 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: thirty three and they won. Like it's just hoh hump. 444 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: That's the that's really the Curry signature. That's him. Ho hump. Oh, 445 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: the guy's making a million three pointers. Ho hump. Like 446 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: to me, it's interesting and fascinating because I feel like, Wow, 447 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: that's incredible, Like I don't know, maybe I could got 448 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: the kidding. I'm kidding. Fox Sports Radio has the best 449 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation.

I don't think this should surprise anyone, but 454 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald basically demanded more money, wanted his contract. We 455 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: worked had some pretty weak, thinly veiled I might just retire, 456 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: and what are the Rams do? Well? You won the 457 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Aaron Donald arguably the best non quarterback of 458 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: the league. Right. I mean, you know, you could argue 459 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is as good or better than Aaron Donald, 460 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: but he had a great Super Bowl and don't scoff 461 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 1: at that Cooper Cup is incredible. And you saw what 462 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup did in the playoffs. I mean that guy 463 00:24:53,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: was unstoppable, unguardable, and you beat the Bucks single handedly. Yeah, 464 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: unstoppable against the Bengals. Like, let's not sleep on Cooper Cup. 465 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: But Aaron Donald obviously the best defensive player in the league, 466 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: and he basically argued to get more money, and they 467 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: gave him a forty million dollar race over the next 468 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: three years of his deal, he got everything he wanted. 469 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean, does anybody really think Aaron Donald was not 470 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: going to come back to the Rams? Seriously, guys, did 471 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: anybody think that was remotely in play, that Aaron Donald's 472 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: just gonna walk away from football thirty one? Like, it's 473 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: just it's silly. I think it's it's just on a 474 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: time on a on a time where there's not a 475 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: lot of NFL news. People tried to hype this up 476 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: as something. Aaron Donald got more money, period, and the 477 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: story congratulations a d I'm happy you earned it. You're 478 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: really talented guy. Um So, basically sixty five million, but 479 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: sixty million guaranteed in the first two years, and then 480 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: he could either retire or return for thirty million guaranteed. Basically, 481 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's getting all the money. The Rams kicked the 482 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: can down the road because they do this all the 483 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: time and they keep the best defensive player in football. 484 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: I I that's the update. It's June. There's your NFL story. No, 485 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about Deshaun Watson and the 486 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: latest Again. There's twenty four lawsuits against him. They're all civil. 487 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: I'll say this. If you look at Deshaun Watson, just 488 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: look at him. He looks like he's aged a lot. Man.

He clearly screwed up a lot 494 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: and made a lot of really poor decisions. He's got 495 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: a lawyer who seemed to be doing a good job 496 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: getting adm out of it, and then opened his mouth 497 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: and said something about what's wrong with getting a happy ending. 498 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: There's nothing he llegal, like, bro, what are you doing 499 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: kim me?

It just to remember, like two 502 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: years ago, right, maybe three years ago, Deshaun Watson was 503 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: ascending to be one of the topic top seven eight 504 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league.

Dude, 506 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: could you could you wear a Deshaun Watson jersey and 507 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: like feel Okay? I mean this coming from a guy 508 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: who I think the second NBA jersey the first one 509 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: had to be Patrick ewing obviously, actually technically the first 510 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: was Magic then Patrick Ewing Um. After that, though, I 511 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: got a Gilbert Arena's jersey, and that was when he 512 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: was starting to percolate and become like a scoring machine. 513 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: He was just trash talker, agent Zero Habachi, all that nonsense. 514 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: I loved it. I ate it up. And I remember 515 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: I was in a basketball league in New York City. 516 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: It was one of the you know, there's like twenty 517 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: seven league seven levels, Like the top level is like 518 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: really like college basketball players former college twenty seven is 519 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: like amateur hour whatever. So we were in like the 520 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: nine to twelve range. I think we did pretty well 521 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: a couple of seasons, and I was getting into it 522 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: and I would like at work, I would leave work 523 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: and I would change I'm not kidding into the Guilbert 524 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: Reause jersey and I would get on the subway and 525 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: wear it to the game and then you know, you 526 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: change once you get to the game. Um. But it 527 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: was just like, I like Gilbert to read us a lot, 528 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: and then once this thing happened, I was like, I 529 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: can't wear this jersey. This guy's a freaking buffoon. And 530 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: it's like, I know that sounds strange or maybe not 531 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: that strange, but I mean, every every sports fan has 532 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: their their limits, right, Like if my kid asked for 533 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: Deshaun watson jersey, I'd be like, I don't think so. 534 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: And again, I like Deshaun Watson as a player. I've 535 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: rooted for him since he was at Clemson, but twenty 536 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: four civil lawsuits, I couldn't do it. I mean, it's 537 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to root for him now. I'm sure 538 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: once the games get started, we're all be different. Um, 539 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: and we'll forget if he has eight touchdown passes in 540 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: the first two weeks or whatever. Whatever. You can finally plays. 541 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be a storyline. It's gonna be It 542 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: could get ugly for him and and Cleveland uh early 543 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: and often this season Home and away. All right, that's 544 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: enough for today. We have a big guest coming up tomorrow. 545 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you then
